Article excerpt

Kenny Parker, who has spent the previous three seasons as an
assistant with the Buckeyes, was named strength and conditioning
coach, head coach Chris Ash announced Friday.

Ash, the OSU defensive coordinator for the past two seasons,
became Rutgers coach Dec. 5.

"I am excited to welcome Kenny to Rutgers football program," said
Ash. "In our past two seasons together at Ohio State I have
recognized Kenny's tremendous work ethic and his ability to get the
most out of our players.

"Having Kenny on staff will be a major asset as we work to build
a team that is both physically tough and mentally prepared to
compete in the Big Ten."

A 2005 graduate of the University of Florida, Parker came to Ohio
State after two seasons as a defensive line coach and strength coach
at Murray State University.
